Feeling it

Well I've been feeling the craft bug lately and decided to act on it. Took a trip to Hobby Lobby and came home with some supplies. I made this cute little menu board idea that I saw on Pinterest. This way the boys can always know what's for dinner.  Sunday didn't fit well on my design so we just don't eat on Sundays...LOL... I liked the silver metallic paint effect I painted on the trim. I wasn't sure how the paint would do but it turned out pretty good. I am using the backside of Mike's old business cards for the food items. I also figured I will have a little bucket or something to keep our repeat dinner options in so I won't always have to write it, I can just pull from the bucket. I wanted to use small wooded letters for the days of the week but they didn't have those at my store so I used sticker letters instead. I'm not sure if they will stick long term, but I figured if not I'll just reattach them with some tacky glue. 

 

Also made a door wreath. My first ever homemade wreath! It also helps cover up the door knocker with the previous owner's name on it  ha ha. I was torn on whether I should do a fall wreath with all the decorations on sale, but it would be too soon to hang it up so I went with a summer theme. Very simple, just added some floral to the wreath, bought a huge letter C and painted it and attached it all to the wreath and added a piece of ribbon to hang it. yay, I like how it turned out especially since it was fairly quick to make. I just hope the letter C sticks well enough, since the branches aren't a flat surface the C isn't touching as much for the glue to hold as if the surface was flat. We'll see how it holds up. 

Now I will definitely make a fall wreath when it gets closer. I want to make it a little more full and bigger with decorations. 

Well woke up to rain yesterday so we didn't get to do any outside activities. Today seems much better with little to no chance of rain, so me and the boys might attempt a water park.

Really hoping to get back into my running routine this week. I did run one time last week, but then things were kinda crazy with school starting and I worked a different schedule too. So I'm going to try to plan well for this week and get back at it. I'm planning to do another 1/2 marathon in December. So that will help me keep motivated. Hoping to get back to at least 3 times a week at least until I start my training in September for the race.
